100% Delivery Guarantee: Guaranteed to deliver on the dot

Time is of the essence in all academic editing. Elite Editing understands that while we work on your document, the clock is ticking towards your deadline. We believe you should not be expected to place such faith in our services without a comfortable measure of certainty. So we provide this to you as our 100 per cent delivery guarantee. Together, we agree upfront to a set deadline by which your reviewed work will be returned. Quite simply, if we do not meet this deadline we will:

Provide a complete refund for the project concerned

Return your document as soon as possible with full academic editing completed

This 100 per cent delivery guarantee applies equally to our Urgent Service (once a deadline has been agreed). Such tight turnaround times will not prejudice the quality of academic editing your work receives. Our service level commitment and customer satisfaction guarantee makes sure of that!

Terms and conditions

As with all guarantees, we do need to set some conditions to prevent people from taking advantage of our offers for unfair gain.

Customer satisfaction guarantee

We will revise and correct any aspect of our editing that you identify as a problem free of charge strictly providing that this work falls within the scope of the original project (i.e. we will not revise or edit altered or new content free of charge).

We do not automatically provide a complete re-edit for a document due to the presence of a small number of errors. Rather, we will work with you on the issues you identify until you are happy. Should you be concerned about the overall quality of the edit, you can request a complete re-edit. Our Quality Assurance Manager will re-check the document by putting it through our quality management system to give it a quality score. If the quality score is lower than 90, we will provide a complete re-edit free of charge. If the quality score meets our high standards, we will simply work to correct and revise the errors you identify.

This guarantee does not imply that we will provide any refund on our service if you are unhappy. Rather, we will work with you to improve the document until you are happy.

Free revisions and corrections must be within the scope of the original job. We do not make revisions and corrections free of charge to aspects of the document that you change or new work that you include after we have returned the edited document to you. (If you make changes or write new material, you need to submit this to us for editing as a new job.)

The same condition applies to the formatting of your document. We will not make changes to formatting free of charge if you request changes that conflict with the original instructions you provided, or if corrections are required due to changes you have made to the document after receiving it back from us. Please also note that bugs and corruptions in Word files that cause problems with formatting are outside of our control and we do not take responsibility for issues with files that arise after we return them in these cases.

Delivery guarantee

If we do not return your edited document to you by deadline due to our error, we will refund 100 per cent of your payment for that document.

We are considered to have returned your document by the deadline if we have sent it to the email address you provided in your submission form by the deadline stated in our Editing Job Confirmation email. Provided we have done this, we are not considered to have missed the deadline even if:

Your mailbox is unable to receive the email and we must resend it

Due to the large size of the file, it does not download to your computer until after the deadline (as this depends on your connection speed and other factors outside our control)

You have provided us with an incorrect email address and we need to resend the email

We are returning the file via Dropbox and it does not download to your computer until after the deadline (we will send you an email to confirm that we have uploaded the file to Dropbox by the deadline)

Our Extra Urgent Service, which is not detailed on the Prices page, is for shorter turnaround times than the Urgent Service. If you need to use this service you must contact us to request this prior to submitting. We must first ensure that an editor is available within your required time frame and agree on a deadline for your job before our delivery guarantee applies.

HELP: FORMATTING

Formatting refers to the layout of your document and things like font, line spacing, page margins, and the presentation of headings.

Choose 'leave formatting as it is' if you would like us to maintain the current formatting in your document. We will make sure it is neat and consistent.

Choose 'I will upload the formatting guidelines' if you have specific instructions about formatting that need to be followed, for example, if you are submitting a thesis for editing and your university has specific thesis-formatting guidelines. Then, upload these guidelines when you upload your document for editing.

Choose 'Elite Editing House Style' if you would like us to format your document according to our own guidelines, which have been specially designed to meet general university requirements.

Choose 'APA 6th edition' if you want your document to be formatted according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition. APA formatting is designed specifically for draft manuscripts of journal articles and certain aspects are not appropriate for a thesis that is divided into chapters and is in its final form. If you are submitting a thesis we will modify APA style according to the preferred thesis style of most universities.
